Forever Duke
The fun doesn't end at graduation. The Duke Jewish Alumni Network is dedicated to helping members grow their personal and professional networks, reunite with classmates and friends, and celebrate and foster their Jewish identities.
Mission
Launched in September 2022, the mission of the Duke Jewish Alumni Network (DJAN) is to ensure that the Jewish community at Duke remains strong past graduation. DJAN, an affiliate of Jewish Life at Duke, engages and connects Jewish alumni through opportunities to interact with peers, foster Jewish identity, and build a network of Duke Jewish alumni for social and professional connections. The Network welcomes alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of Duke.
